An electronic diagnostics device can detect and report environmental conditions from manufacture to use. The device can include a reaction chamber configured to receive a biological sample and contain a reaction with the biological sample. A component of the biological sample can be detected based on the reaction. The device can also include one or more environmental sensors, such as a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, to detect the environmental conditions. A processor can read data from the environmental sensors and compare the measured conditions to specified ranges. If an environmental parameter falls outside the specified range, the processor can disable the device or communicate to a user that the device should not be used to perform a diagnostic test.
A self-contained electronic diagnostic device for detecting analytes in biological fluids, comprising:
A device where reagent fluid is moved or released from a closed pouch by use of a spring element and a resistive element that is coupled to an electrical conducting element by use of meltable material that is solid at room temperature but that melts below the destructive temperature of the other components in connection with the meltable material and where the heating of the resistive element will lead to the melting of the meltable material and whereby a mechanical link will be broken and whereby the breaking of the mechanical link will lead to the spring activation being engaged to move or release reagent fluid.
A device wherein multiple processing steps are controlled by use of a spring elements and a resistive elements that are connected to electrical conducting elements by use of meltable material that is solid at room temperature but that melts below the destructive temperature of the other components in connection with the meltable material and where the heating of the resistive element will lead to the melting of the meltable material and whereby mechanical links will be broken and whereby the breaking of the mechanical links will lead to the springs activating several fluid movements at different time points during the reaction.
